Friday 23 June saw the presentation of State level awards for the Australian Institute of Architects where the Tent House achieved a State Award, and will now go forward to the National awards. The Jurors' commented, "The Tent House defines inside outside living in the Noosa hinterland. Walls and ceilings dissolve into carefully crafted openings, leaving nothing but the ethereal fly roof, sky and the surrounding rainforest. This permanent state of camping, belies none of the luxuries of a new architecturally designed home gifted with an efficiently planned scheme and bespoke detailing throughout."
